Abstract

One of the most important indicators of the increase in economic and social welfare in a country is the economic growth phenomenon. There are several studies in the literature that aimed to identify the components of economic growth and their contribution to growth. In the present study, economic growth indicators were selected as investments, population, human capital, employment, public investments and the size of logistics industry. To determine economic growth indicators in 34 OECD countries, unbalanced panel analysis is conducted in the present study. As a result, it was determined that study variables of logistics and fixed capital investments were positive and statistically significant at the same time. This finding reflected that the size of the logistics industry and fixed capital investments increased per capita income in OECD countries.
